Mount-It Ultimate Dual Motor Electric Standing Desk review

The Electric Standing Desk from Mount-It is affordable for anyone looking to enjoy the health and ergonomic benefits of a hybrid sit/stand workspace. With a 55-inch wide desktop and an easy-to-use control panel for height adjustment, this desk is well-suited for home and corporate office settings, making it an excellent fit for various work environments.

Mount-It is known for its wide range of accessories, including TV mounts, and monitor arms. The company is even behind one of the best standing desk converters we've seen. However, what may be less well known is that they also have quality standing desks at a great price. Having tested out all the best standing desks, I was keen to see how the company's offering stacks up.

Mount-It ESD: Price and Availability

The Electric Standing Desk from Mount-It is priced at $700, making it a fantastic mid-range desk. It has a lifetime warranty and offers free shipping to the contiguous US. The desk has six different finishes, which fit most office décor and styles.

Mount-It ESD: Unboxing and First Impressions

Upon unboxing, the desk components are neatly packaged and easy to assemble. The assembly process is straightforward, with clear instructions and minimal tools required. Right away, my first impressions were that of a sturdy, well-built desk. The 55” tabletop is spacious enough for a multi-monitor setup and office essentials, though if you are doing two side-by-side horizontal monitors, they may not leave much space on either end.

The design is very traditional for a standing desk, and the model I have features a lightwood top and white legs, a sleek color combination that looks good in almost any room I have tried. I go back and forth between preferring a darker or lighter wood, but this light wood and white leg combination is simple, clean, and refreshing.

Mount-It ESD: Design and Build Quality

The desk features a sleek, minimalist design with a sturdy steel base. The 55” tabletop is made from high-quality materials, offering durability and a smooth surface for writing or using a mouse. The sharp 90-degree edges help make this desk clean and minimal, though it could be dangerous if this is a home office desk and you have kids running around.

The dual-motor design supports weight capacities up to 220lbs, making it suitable for a basic desk setup with dual monitors.

Mount-It ESD: In use

The dual electric motors adjust the desk’s height smoothly and quietly, allowing you to switch from sitting to standing with minimal disruption. The intuitive control panel features three programmable memory presets for different heights. However, the speed of 0.8” per second may feel slow to users accustomed to faster adjustment times, primarily if they have used other, more premium electric standing desks. Despite this, the desk’s quiet operation and sturdy design make it a reliable choice for everyday use.

My team and I use this desk as a laptop workstation with minimal things on it, and it's perfect. It's super easy and smooth to press one of the preset buttons, have the desk spring to life, and adjust perfectly to the preset height. This has been super helpful for multiple users of standing heights and seated heights with the chair we have at this desk.

Despite being a mid-range offering, this desk has been surprisingly stable and has survived some beatings from putting some gear down on it too aggressively. Yet, the wood top has held up nicely.

Mount-It ESD: Final verdict

The Mount-It Electric Standing Desk is a dependable, somewhat budget-friendly option for those looking to enhance their workspace ergonomics. While it lacks some advanced features in higher-end models, its large tabletop, smooth height adjustment, and basic memory settings make it a solid choice for home and office use.
